Mark Cross moved from Naperville, Illinois to open the state of Tennessee's first Buffalo Wings & Rings location in Cool Springs. Cross decided to open the state's first location after trying the restaurant in Naperville.

According to the Franklin Homepage, Buffalo Wings & Rings will offer a variety of wings, burgers, salads and wraps. Foodies who go to the restaurant will have the option to sit down at the bar or a table in the main dining room with an extraordinary amount of TVs to watch whatever sporting event they choose.

"We are the premiere sports restaurant,” Cross said. “We have 50 TVs geared toward every seat in the place. So customers will have views of multiple of games with an awesome chef-inspired menu creation.”

During his grand opening week, Cross elected to donate proceeds to the High Hopes Development center from Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 18th. During that time, the restaurant donated more than $9,000 to the center.
